Prompt for password of network drive after reboot in Windows 7

If you have a Network drive mapped onto your Windows 7 system, it may prompt you enter the password everytime the system is rebooted even if the "Save Password" is selected.

This is a known problem from previous versions of Windows (seen in Windows XP as well)

To resolve (rather workaround) the problem try the command line option as follows:

net use z: "\\server\path\to\share" /persistent:no /user:<username> <password>"

where for Z: is the drive to which it is mapped to.

For instance,

C:User\sai> net use z: "\\server\path\to\share" /persistent:no /user:winref_user mypassword"

This should help. This should also work on Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008/2003.
